What an awkward way to get stuck.
  • The Tramp's introduction where he's been sleeping on a statue that gets unveiled to the public. He keeps accidentally defacing it as he tries to get down.
  • The Gag Dub of the dedication speech with a kazoo is hilarious all on its own, even more so when you realize this is Chaplin's response to those demanding he make a talking picture.
  • The drunk millionaire knocks the Tramp into the river, and then falls in trying to rescue the Tramp. And then it happens again. And again.
  • The Tramp gets a job picking up animal feces from the street but balks when a circus (complete with elephant) walks past him.
    • And that's after he's taken a detour to avoid a parade of horses.
  • Almost every moment of the boxing scene.
